with apologies to Cake...

He is building a religion,
He is building it bigger
He is widening the corridors and adding more lanes
He is building a religion.
A limited edition
He is now accepting callers for these pendant key chains
To resist it is useless,
It is useless to resist it
His cigarette is burning but it never seems to ash
He is grooming his poodle
He is living comfort eagle
You can meet at his location but you’d better come with cash

It was, from the start, a two-year program

More like "Five Year Plan", and surely to be just as successful.

At least he keeps talking about it, trying to reassure people. If bush had just opened his mouth a few more times about Iraq and other matters, it would have countered the drip-drip-drip against him, and we might have kept the Congress in 2006.

Obama, in the op-ed, said "Even as we rescue this economy from a full-blown crisis, I have insisted that we must rebuild it better than before."

Socialism is not "better", Mr. Obama. Check your history books.

Since Obama took office 3.4 million jobs have been lost. Despite this dismal failure, he has stated that he intends to let the Bush tax cuts expire. That alone will result in a few more million lost jobs. Plus, Obama is hell-bent on cap & trade, which will make electricity costs skyrocket, resulting in the loss of a few more million jobs. And Congress is increasing the minimum wage from $6.55 to $7.25 per hour effective July 24th, which will result in the elimination of more jobs. Plus, the Demo-Socialists want a surtax on the so-called “rich” to pay for socialized medicine, and a fine on individuals and/or companies who fail to obtain medical insurance, which will result in more lost jobs and more people forced into government medicine.

In summary, Obama and his Socialist Congress have a plan to destroy the economy and our freedom. This is not accidental or due to inexperience. It is premeditated, deliberate, and evil. Obama actually wants more people to be dependent on the government, to build a captive, helpless “constituency”. He is aiming for totalitarian control and the destruction of our Constitution and way of life.

“We have made plans to ensure unemployment does not exceed 8%.” That was then, this is now: we are stopping the free fall. Then it was a fixed target...now it is a moving target spaced over “years”.

Mr. President, if you’re going to hit a moving target
you have to lead it, but that is something you wouldn’t
know about.

When Clinton entered office, the economy had already begun to improve (under Bush I) - but Clinton got immediate credit for it.

No one said, “It’s Bush’s recovery - we inherited a great start.”

No, it was all CLINTON’S policy, or - simply the fact that he WAS the President - that was causing the turnaround.

How come Obama isn’t similarly “credited” with this (bad) situation? After all — he’s President now.

Well, IS IT BETTER THAN WHEN OBAMA TOOK OFFICE?

We're at 9.5% unemployment now - how much "better" does he want it to get?

I cannot wait for him to be adding to the unemployment numbers.
